ID please

Desert Hot Springs, CA(Zone 3a)

I do not know if this is a succulent, cactus, or euphorbia. Tall growing, over 6' tall and clumping. Round leaves, and long needles. I'm pretty sure its a euphorbia because I got stuck by one of the needles and it sure hurt for a long time. I've looked all over the web and can not find it. Would appreciate a ID. Thx

Hi. Thanks for the ID. So it is a cactus. Very interesting, just worried about the 12 foot growth? Mine are about 7 or 8 foot right now. Thanks again. Bill

Mine were in pots until this spring, went from 3 feet to about 5 feet over the summer... fast growers.
